We are living in difficult and unpredictable times and now, more than ever, we are challenged to find a core place of meaning and purpose within ourselves that will connect us with one another and with our world which is so desperately in need of healing. When we find what we feel passionate about, what makes us come alive, the universe will support whatever we want to do, if we do it with love and in the service of others.

“The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who’s on top and so on. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it’s alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find where in your own case, the life is and to become alive yourself." Joseph Campbell

My work is systemic and grounded in the belief that all of life is interconnected; that all people have access to spirit or a source of wisdom within their own heart. The way we stay connected with our heart is by learning to be our authentic selves and to live in the present moment as much as possible. Learning to accept and know ourselves is the work of a life time and begins as Pema Chodron says, by "becoming our own best friend."

Many of us spend so much time mulling over regrets of the past or worrying about what may go wrong in the future that we spend precious little time being fully present to what is happening in the moment. When we are not present in the moment we do not really see or listen to one another; we do not see the beauty in our friend's face or the sadness in a stranger's eyes. The morning sun streaming through the kitchen window, bathing the colbalt blue vase in exquisite light is lost to us. Our time here is fleeting and each moment is precious regardless of the pain we've endured and the love we have lost. Being genuinely present isn't about finding a peaceful place inside where nothing can ever hurt us; it is about facing each day with courage and gratitude, risking our hearts by loving deeply, knowing full well that everything and everyone we love we will someday lose. It is about choosing to love just the same.
